A few quotes I've come across lately

Here are a few quotes I have come across lately that I feel are worth mentioning...

Do not repeat anything you will not sign your name to. ~Author Unknown

Your life may be the only Bible some people read. ~Author Unknown

There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience. ~French Proverb

It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit. ~Noël Coward, Blithe Spirit

What is right is often forgotten by what is convenient. ~Bodie Thoene, Warsaw Requiem

I forgot that every little action of the common day makes or unmakes character, and that therefore what one has done in the secret chamber one has some day to cry aloud on the house-tops. ~Oscar Wilde

I take a firm stance in what I believe, but at the same time admit when I am wrong. Not to say that I am perfect, but just because I am with one group of people one day and another group of people the next doesn't mean I will change my beliefs according to who I am with...
